Error with Soapskin Bubble? (Text changed color)
-
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I don't know if I pressed a special, magical button combination or something, but one moment the info text that displays next to my soapskin as it's rendered was black. Then I rotated to a new angle, selected the skin again, and changed the pressure rating. It turned an almost illegible gray. Is this an error or did I screw something up?
Closing Sketchup and re-opening fixed it, but it was a curious thing to happen.

This may not be an answer at all. You indicate you have Vista Home Basic. What is your graphics card? Could be a hardware acceleration issue?

My laptop is an almost 7 year old Compaq Presario C500. I have no idea where to find out what kind of graphics card it has, if it has one at all. I'm pretty sure laptops don't have graphics "cards".
All I can scrounge up for info in my laptop is that it has an Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset. Processor is a 1.86 GHz Intel Celeron M CPU 440.

Well, I cannot tell you much more than what has been previously discussed in other threads. You probably have an integrated graphics processor- not a recommended system for a graphics intensive application, let alone a plugin for it. It's this OpenGL thing. Your processor has to support that "protocol".
Again, I cannot be 100% certain it would not be some other factor.
Strangely, I have an older tabletpc with XPpro on it that seems to have an integrated processor. Yet I can run Sketchup and SSB on it, and I do not recall having that situation come up. Maybe that system is designed for heavy graphics.
It may be time to consider a newer system. I know I need to.
